Afro-Mexican History: Trends and Directions in Scholarship
Abstract
This article surveys the development of a relatively new and vibrant subfield in
Latin American History, mapping out the major stages of its evolution and signaling
key intellectual debates. While much of the scholarship on Afro-Mexican history
has been produced in the last thirty-five years, this article aims to contextualize
these writings within a broader historical framework. This process shows more
clearly the various independent and interdependent tracks that exist within the study
of Mexico’s black population.
